Garlic and Herb Waffles

Garlic and Herb Waffles

This one is unique, but exciting! Take a little risk and try it. The best technique to make great waffles is to triple – sift the flour. When the flour gets sifted it picks up more air. Therefore, the more you sift, the lighter batter you get. Try out this savoury waffle recipe, and you just might never go back making waffles the traditional way again.
